LITTLE LAUGHS.

Marrying by proxy is what may be con-
sidered a proxy-Tnate bliss.-BostOn Tran
script.
The woman whose favorite hymn IS, 81
would not live Away" has spent $3.50 for
patent medicines during the past ten years.
Norristown Herald
The Maine drummers at a recent dinner
had on their menus the picture of travelling
man approaching young lady in nearly
empty railroad car and saying: 81 beg your
pardon, is this seat engaged!"
"No, Bobby" said his mother; "you cannot
go skating to-day. It's Sunday, you know"
"Well, Ma" persisted Bobby; "can't 1 go if
I'll just skate straight ahead, and not try to
do any fancy work?"-Puck.
When young man in the Aleutian islands
goes to see his girl in the evening, the parents
of the girl thoughtfully retire to another
compartment of the ice house, leaving
burning candle with the lovers. Do they let
the candle burn? Not much; they promptly
blow it out and eat it between them.-New
York Tribune.
A well known clergyman's little daughter
has just been put to bed and upon the still
ness comes a tiny voice in the nightly prayer.
Then, silence, soon broken by these words:
"And, dear Lord, this afternoon l saw out
upon the cold sidewalk poor little girl and
she had no shoes or stockings on-and-and"
another silence as though staggered by the
immensely of the problem-"its none of our
business, is it, God?"-Boston Transcript.
A fond father, blessed with eleven children,
and withal very domestic man, tells this
story: One afternoon, business being very
dull, he took the early train out to his happy
home. and after time slipped up stairs to
help put the children to bed. Being missed
soon, his wife went up to see what was going
on Upon opening the nursery door she ex-
claimed: "Why, dear, what in the world are
you doingp 'Why, WHEY" said he, 81 am
putting the children to bed and hearing them
say their little prayers" EYES," said WHEY.
"but this is one of &C. neighbours children all
undressed" And he had to redress it and
sent it home.-Chicago Living Church.

A BILL has passed the lower house
to take White county out of this ju-

the 9Th circuit. The matter has been
pushed through the House by a few
parties who became disgruntled over
some action of Judge Smallman
in the recent Circuit court held in
that county. No opportunity has
been given the people of the county
Or the circuit to express themselves on
the matter, and the measure deserves
an early death at the hands of the

While the weather has changed
rather suddenly, still fruit is perfectly
safe. The dry winds have driven all
the moisture out of the buds, thereby
rendering them secure from the slight
cold spell which now environs us.
This year will be the greatest fruit
year ever witnessed in Tennessee
Franklin County News.
We hope the News man is correct
about this, but there is no mistaking
the fact that a great deal of fruit has
already been killed in this county.

were so bright with blooms week

Tullahoma Guardian.
We learn from Major Negley that
3j miles of the line of the c. d B.
road between Livingston and Cook
vile have been surveyed already, and
that he will begin work this week at
three different points-from Cook
vile coming South, from Huntsville
coming north, and from Tullahoma
south. This will insure an earlier
completion of the work than if one
party should have to go over the
whole line. 1t is hoped he will now
have better weather than during the
last month.

A BILL to amend the laws relative

Such an official, who would conscien-

THAT was real mean in the Chatta-
nooga Commercial to go and get out
a bigger paper than the Times. The
Times issued "a pages and boosted
that no other Office in the State, with
perhaps one exception at Nashville,
could accomplish such a feat. Then
for the Commercial to come out on
the same morning with a paper of 36
pages Q2 more than the Times was
awfully provoking. If all the enter
prises of Chattanooga were built up
in the same colossal proportions as
the cheek OF the Times editors, Chat
tanooga would indeed be the most
wonderful city on the globe.

THE Times claims that $10,0OO,000
capitol is employedin manufacturing
in Chattanooga, and the total assessed
value of property in that city only
$l2,000,OOO. This is another example
of the unjust working Of our assess
ment laws. If ten millions of dollars
are employed in manufacturing alone
in Chattanooga, the balance of the
city property is certainly worth more
than two millions.

SENATOR Fairbanks voted for the
submission of the Prohibition amend
ment, and against the election being
held earlier than in 1888, upon the
belief that if held sooner there would
be some question as to the constitu-
tionality of the election.-New Era.
Senator Fairbanks never voted for
submission in any shape or form. He
voted for the prohibitory amendment
on its final reading, but when the
clean cut question of submission
to the people came up he voted
against it. He did everything in
his power to delay, obstruct, and
postpone action on both of the meas
ures. Moreover he told reliable
gentleman of this place that he be-
lieved the. matter was perfectly con-
stitutional, which leaves him without
any reasonable excuse whatever for
his action.

THE MIDLAND RAILROAD.

We are quite frequently asked the
question, will the Tennessee Midland
Railroad come through McMinnville?
We wish to goodness we knew wheth-
er it would or not, but we don't, nor
does anybody else. We hope it will,
however, and think it the best route
the road could select, but it always
was peculiar to us that the men who
build railroads don't think like we
do every time. The railroad COM
mittee appointed at the public meet
ing here few weeks ago has been in
correspondence with the Tennessee
Midland Company, and has received
the information that the Company is
investigating two routes for the'Mid-
land road east from Nashville. One
of these routes is through Wilson,
Smith and Putnam Counties in the
general direction of Emory Gap, on
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, the
other is through Rutherford, Cannon,
and Warren Counties, in the general
direction of Glen Alice, on the Gin
cinnati Southern road. The Tennes-
see Midland Company wants to know
how much stock of the road Warren
county would subscribe to in 20 year
per cent bonds, in case the road
should be built through Warren
county. 1t is generally conceded that
the county would refuse to issue any
bonds for this purpose, but we think
the corporation of McMinnville would
subscribe very literally to secure the
road. One corps ofengineers are now
at Woodbury., investigating a route
from that place to Caney Fork Falls,
by way of Short Mountain and down
Mountain Creek. By this route the
road would miss McMinnville eight
! or ten miles. Another and much
easier route is up Hill's Creek from
Woodbury. and by way of McMinn-
vile, following the general course of
the stage road from this place to
Woodbury.. McMinnville will rem
der the road very liberal assistance to
secure the adoption of thisroute. The
building of the Tennessee Midland
railroad is as assured as any. future
enterprise can reasonably be, and we
believe the chances are in favor of the
adoption of the Rutherford, Cannon,
and Warren counties route east from
Nashville. OF course the selection of
this route will largely depend upon
the encouragement and assistance
given to the road by the people along
the line. That it is a most favorable
route for the location of railroad nc
one can for a moment doubt. The
entire section is rich in timber and
mineral wealth, and possesses untold
agricultural. resources. A competing
line of railroad would make McMinn-
villea prominent manufacturing cen
ter in a few years, and a direct line
from here to Nashville would com.
mand a large passenger traffic. Adj
rect line of railroad to Nashville
would, beyond all shadow of doubt
make McMinnville the leading sum
mer resort Of the Cumberland Noun
tains. These are not mere rosy-hueC
fancies, but substantial facts which
simply await enterprise and capita
for practical development. McMinn
vile is but the embryo of what it is
destined to be in the future. vii
the men of today enjoy the fruition
or leave it to coming generations? L
is a question within their own grasp
and not a problem the solution o
which is to be fioated to us upon tn,
circumstantial waves of prosperity
